📝 About The Book

"Yashwantrao is an excellent strategist and a profound thinker..." – Dr. Manmohan Singh

This insightful Marathi book presents a comprehensive account of the Indo-Pak war of September 1965 through the lens of one of India's most respected political leaders — Yashwantrao Chavan. Drawing from Chavan's personal war-time diary, the book chronicles the crucial period when he took over as India's Defence Minister following the 1962 defeat against China.

Determined to rebuild national morale and strengthen the armed forces, Yashwantrao Chavan played a key role in reshaping India’s defense policy and military preparedness. This book, authored by Ram Pradhan, delves into Chavan's strategic leadership, the wartime decisions, and the political developments before and after the conflict with Pakistan.

Written with a focus on both national and international perspectives, this book is not only a tribute to a visionary leader but also a valuable resource for students of political science, sociology, and readers interested in Indian military and political history.
